Original Vs. Later Mix
In 1978 the album was remixed because of deterioration of the master tapes. The original 1967 stereo mix has never seen an official CD release.
The ways in which the later mix departs most noticeably from the original are:
- After the orchestral intro, "Dawn is a Feeling" begins more abruptly, and there is less echo on Mike Pinder's vocal on the bridge, making it more prominent.
- The orchestral intro "Lunch Break" goes on about 20 seconds longer before fading out.
- The bridges to "(Evening) Time to Get Away" have John Lodge singing alone; all the backing vocals on that part have been lost.
- The backing vocals on "Twilight Time" are heard through the entire song instead of only coming in at strategic points.
